Cross-classification between I-codes (site of fracture, expressed in mortality rates/100,000 persons) and age in years (Figure 3.A, first column) and between E-codes (mechanism of fracture, expressed by the "high-energy fractures/all fractures" ratio) and age in years (Figure 3.B, second column). Results are presented by sex and site of fracture. (Closed black squares for men and open circles for women). NB. The scale of the vertical axis is not the same for all sites, due to large differences in fracture-associated mortality rates.
